Sean “Puffy” Combs, who beat the rap on gun and bribery charges just eight days ago, has been slapped with a lawsuit by a Detroit cable-TV host over an alleged attack after a 1999 interview.

Roger Mills said members of the hip-hop honcho’s entourage attacked him outside the WCHB radio station after he asked Combs to comment on allegations that he contributed to the 1997 slaying of rapper Notorious B.I.G.

Mills’ lawyer, Hugh Davis, said Combs, who had approached Mills and offered to do an interview for a program he hosted, “took immediate and extreme umbrage” to the questioning.

Davis said a representative of the 31-year-old rap impresario asked whether she could buy the videotape of the interview.

Mills declined, his lawyer said, and as he prepared to leave in his car, he was assaulted by members of Combs’ entourage.

“He was prevented from leaving, and they demanded the tape be turned over,” said Davis.

“He declined and they physically took it from him and apparently destroyed the camera.”

Mills’ neck was twisted and his shoulder was injured in the alleged attack, Davis said.

Detroit police investigated but made no arrests.

“There was an incident, but we could not identify the perpetrators,” said Detroit Police Cmdr. Arnold Wicker.

“We readily admit that there was an incident.”

Davis said Mills and his previous lawyer tried to resolve the matter by seeking an apology, but never received one.

In the lawsuit, filed Thursday in Wayne County Circuit Court, Mills is seeking unspecified damages from Combs, his Bad Boy Entertainment record company, several of his representatives and WCHB.

The rap mogul’s spokeswoman, Natalie Moar, said “any claim that Mr. Combs participated in any wrongdoing is totally false.”

“Furthermore, facilitating the press with this baseless complaint is a blatant attempt to exploit Mr. Combs’ celebrity for media attention.”

Bad Boy Entertainment declined comment, saying it had not seen the lawsuit.

Last Sunday, The Post’s Cindy Adams reported exclusively that Kim Porter, Combs’ ex-girlfriend and mother of his 2-year-old son, will file suit against him for more child support.

Combs and his bodyguard, Anthony “Wolf” Jones, were acquitted of gun possession and bribery charges stemming from a Dec. 27, 1999 shooting inside Club New York.

Combs’ protégé, rapper Jamal “Shyne” Barrow, was convicted of reckless endangerment and assault for firing his gun in the club during the melee.With Post Wire Services
